Civil 2014 Quantity Takeoff Error

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am having difficulty with the Quantity Takeoff function in Civil 3D 2014 .  I am new to this function and was wondering if anyone experiences the same issue, or if I am doing something wrong.

I have a 3D model which I am using to perform a concrete form takeoff.  I am trying to assign pay items to regions and surfaces to get the surface area of a large number of these objects.

The issue occurs when I try to perform a takeoff using the 2D objects (region or surface).  I add the pay items to the objects with no errors.  When I go to perform the takeoff from the QTO manager, I get a slew of errors saying "Cannot find the resource string number 1233 in resource AeccPublishSvc100."  I get a bunch of messages with different string numbers.  After I clear them, the program does not recognize the objects and tells me that there is no required pay item data in drawing extents.

When I perform the same process using 2D polylines instead of regions and surfaces it works fine.  Also, when simply counting the number of objects it works as well.  The issue seems to be with finding the 2D area of the objects.

I have replicated the problem on a blank drawing file using the "getting started.csv" pay item file from the tutorials folder.

Thanks

I also wanted to add that a search of the forums indicates a number of unsolved problems with Civil 3D relating to the quantity takeoff functions.

Additionally I am experiencing the bug with undo commands not grouping together (not discussing in this thread, only using as an example) which I see was first noted back in 2009 and still not corrected. This is very alarming and would definitely lead me to consider alternative software packages in the future if these fundamental issues do not get corrected before new features are added.

Welcome to the weird world of Civil 3D where bugs and issues go unfixed for years, new features get introduced which break existing ones and if it isn't Cloud based no one is interested.....

Is anybody able to reproduce this error?

Can somebody try this file and see if they get the same error?

The resource string number error is most likely caused by a corruption of your Profile. You might be able to fix this by toggling between Profiles in Options or by importing a saved.

Just tried toggling the profile, error persists.

If you don't have a saved one to import then you may have to do a repair. I don't have first hand experience with this. But searching the groups I've found a couple of post where this is how those errors are fixed. One post was from an Autodesk employee and was marked as the solution.
